Technical Discovery
Assessing the app’s technical requirements
We begin by assessing your current environment and technology stack, speaking to your key
stakeholders and tech leads. Our goal is to understand your business needs, and learn how
these inform your technology requirements. If we’re also designing your website, technical
discovery is part of an integrated discovery and strategy process.
Planning
Creating a tech strategy that works
An optimal technology architecture requires a skillful balancing of factors – current and
future needs, workflows, integrations, regulatory requirements, in-house technical resources
and, of course, budget – to arrive at the right solution. Our experienced technology team
acts as your strategic partners – helping you rebuild your tech stack or finding a solution
that plays nicely with the tools you have.
IA, Design + Copywriting
Delivering a complete website solution
We’re an end-to-end website development agency, so we are more than capable of handling your
digital strategy, information architecture, website design, and content creation.
We begin planning early for the features we know the site will need, so that we can scope
development appropriately. And we architect and design the website with an understanding of
the unique capabilities of the platform the site will be built on.
Front- and Back-End Coding
Back-End and Front-End Integration
We find the majority of our clients prefer a hybrid development approach, where we build the
MVP using a Waterfall methodology, and then add new features and improvements in Agile
sprints, but we can and do work in other ways.
Our development teams are fluent in the whole range of modern web development languages,
including PHP, .Net, Java, HTML5, CSS and Javascript. With our range of partnerships, we
have expertise – including many certifications – for a wide variety of CMS options.
Every build is assigned a dedicated technical Project Manager, who will support your equally
dedicated Account Director in efficiently managing work quality, time, and budget.
QA
Testing against over 100 checkpoints
We’re fanatical about QA, with dedicated teams ruthlessly evaluating the site against over
100 checkpoints before it even gets close to going live.
We like to get our clients involved – while the site is in beta, it lives on a development
server, where you and your team can play with it, try to break it, and help us eradicate any
bugs.
CMS Training + Launch
Preparing your team for handover
When we deliver your new site, we don’t just throw you the keys and run. We walk you through
the CMS, show you how to use it (and how not to use it), and make sure everyone touching the
website is comfortable with managing it. Launch day is time to celebrate – and to start
planning enhancements that deliver even more value to your users and business.
